At the time of the deal with Toronto in December 2012, Becerra had played just 11 games in the Rookie Gulf Coast League. His pro production consisted of eight hits and four doubles in 32 at-bats.

Three years later, the 20-year-old rightfielder still is mostly potential, but it's powerful potential, far closer to being actualized.

In 55 games with Single-A Savannah (32-27, T-1st place in South Atlantic League Southern), Becerra is batting .286 with 16 doubles and seven home runs. His slugging percentage, which has risen each year in the Mets' farm system, sits at .498 following Wednesday's 8-6 win over Virginia.

In the best case scenario, Becerra won't be big-league ready until sometime in 2017 - but that likely suits the Mets just fine, who have leftfielder Michael Cuddyer signed through 2016 and rightfielder Curtis Granderson through 2017.
